Question

I have a CSV report that has fields Date, User, and Bandwidth for 1000 users per day over 30 days (30,000 lines). I loaded these into a pivot table so Date was the Cols, User was the rows, and bandwidth is value as “Rank of total column value”.

I’d like to filter the table such that it only shows users who have at least 1 top 50 (1-50) in the 30 day range.

I’ve tried using the filter options for rows and columns, but I can’t seem to perform this filter. Anyone have any ideas?

Answer 1

You could add some columns to your source data that determines the filter. Using the formulae below, filter in your PivotTable for TRUE in the UseInFilterCol.

TotalUserBandwidthCol

=SUMIF(UserCol, UserVal, BandwidthCol)

UserBandwidthRankCol

=RANK(TotalUserBandwidthVal, TotalUserBandwidthCol)

UseInFilterCol

=UserBandwidthRankVal <= 50
